6... PCMCIA CARD CONFIGURATION AND USE

provide the necessary software interface between the PD-1drive and HyperWare. Also included are a number of utilities for use in formatting, copying etc on the PCMCIA card.

PCMCIA CARD - EXPANDED MEMORY CAPACITY APPLICATION

Hardware Configuration

For applications using the PCMCIA card only for expanded memory capacity within the OMP-MODL, the only components required are the MLIM-5 and one or more memory cards (formatted for us with the OMP-MODL PCMCIA card system). The MLIM-5 module should be installed per the Interface Module instructions in Chapter 3. Memory cards for use in this system are supplied pre-formatted from Omega Engineering Incorporated.

Software Configuration

No special software configuration is required. When the MLIM-5 is installed in the OMP-MODL, the OMP-MODL will auto-detect the presence of the module.

Operation of the MLIM-5 and PCMCIA Memory Card:

To use the PCMCIA card for data storage...

1.STOP the OMP-MODL. Cycle the OMP-MODL power to OFF.

2.Visually inspect the formatted and prepared (as supplied from Omega Engineering Incorporated ) PCMCIA card connector for any debris in any of the connector holes and clean if necessary.

The Write Protect switch located on the end of the card opposite the connector should be slid away from the WP position to enable writing of data to the memory card (Refer to Figure 6... -1).

3.Orient the card with the top label facing the top of the OMP-MODL and slide the card fully into the card slot in Option Port 2. Upon full insertion, the Eject button next to the slot will be fully extended.

4.Turn the OMP-MODL Power ON. Press the ENABLE button.

5.The PCMCIA card will be automatically detected and the LCD will display ENABLED - PCMCIA. All logged data will be stored in the PCMCIA card.

♦If the OMP-MODL displays STOPPED after Enabling, the Write Protect switch on the PCMCIA card is in the PROTECT position. Correct and reinsert the card.

Press ENABLE and observe the display.

♦If the PCMCIA card does not contain the proper format and support files (as supplied from Omega Engineering Incorporated) a message on the display will indicate CARD ERROR. The card must be reformatted and the support files rewritten before use. Refer to the PCMCIA Miscellaneous Section (near end of this chapter) for details on reformatting cards.
